For those of you interested in living life in a more informed way I've found a great web site. The Ideal Bite has suggestions of living life in a better, healthier more energy efficient way. From "The Ideal Bite" some great ideas.

Are you all about the '10 items or fewer' line?                                               

The Bite
It's overrated. It might save a couple minutes, but if you fill up your cart and later, your fridge, you'll make fewer overall trips to the store, and save energy, cash and (dare we say?) even time in the process.

The Benefits

Pollute less. 1/2 of the pollution associated with transporting your food comes from your drive to and from the store (the other 1/2 comes from the transport from farm to distribution center to store).

Both fridge and freezer are more efficient when you pack them full (but not so full that cold air can't circulate). In a power outage, they'll even hold the temp for twice as long as half-full ones.

Save cash on electricity bills and gas.

Save time. Even the time spent parking can make you think twice about going to the store for just a couple items.
